Desperate

From the day we met
I cherished our words, stayed up for their duet
Like a just-right melody, it was proven to me
That we were meant to be

Does sleep ever free your heart
The lock of inhibition broken apart
To find what you wanted, what it always knew
When it happens to me, it's always you

But I loved you to death
To the death of my hope
Like a dream I believed
Until I awoke

I saved you a place
That you'll never desire
I loved like a fool
And though I longed for you to be
You were never desperate for me

Time was cruel to me
Finding you taken was sick comedy
My soul was devoted, no permission or plea
How could you not see

So I put my heart into a song
With words between lines, subtle and strong
I couldn't help but fear some other kind of line
Like a caged bird singin' for wind and pine

Well I loved you to death
To the death of my hope
Like a dream I believed
Until I awoke

I saved you a place
That you'll never desire
I loved like a fool
And though I longed for you to be
You were never desperate for me

When the time did come
For confessions and hope and revival of the numb
Three days of time was all that it took
We were growing, perfect, yet not by the book

And that was it for me
Head over heals and stone above me
But you were the one that you needed to go and find
What an impossible love I designed

Well I loved you to death
To the death of my hope
Like a dream I believed
Until I awoke

I saved you a place
That you'll never desire
I loved like a fool
And though I longed for you to be
You were never desperate for me
